Fake Marriage With The CEO

"Inside the envelope, there will be the symbol of the King and Queen Party. Only two people, a couple, will get the emblem. If the contents of the paper in your envelope are blank without any symbols, then you are out of luck."

Boisterous applause. Everyone is enthusiastic. While Aslena still occasionally stood on tiptoe to look for Benny's whereabouts while turning her gaze around.

"Please open your letter!"

Aslena was quite jerked by the hand of the person next to her who was opening the envelope in a hurry. For a few seconds, Aslena watched. After opening the contents of the envelope, the expression on the face of the person beside Aslena immediately turned listless.

"Shit! There isn't a simbol!" She cursed annoyed. She suddenly turned her eyes to Aslena, then looked confused. "Hey, you didn't open your letter?"

"Huh?" Aslena was taken aback a second time. "This?" he asked, holding up the envelope. "Ah, this... I was just about to open."

Aslena then opened the envelope in her hand. The foreign woman next to him kept watching curiously.

After Aslena took out the paper and unfolded it, she saw a silhouette of a woman wearing a crown. Aslena was taken aback, but suddenly the woman next to her gave a startled shriek.

"THIS WOMAN GOT THE QUEEN SYMBOL!"

Then everyone turned to Aslena which made her flinch for a second.

The MC peered through the crowd, smiled broadly as he waved at Aslena.

"You! The one with the queen's crest, please step forward!"

'Shit! Why did I get this symbol?!' Aslena grimaced, biting her lip worriedly.

Feeling pressured by the stares of the crowd—especially since she couldn't escape, Aslena was forced to step forward. Everyone around her looked so enthusiastic the whole time Aslena walked past them.

"For the man to get the king's crest... oh? Wait! Was this not a dream?! Someone who got king symbol tonight is..."

Arriving at the end of the crowd and walking to the podium, Aslena looked to the side. How surprised he was when he saw Benny's figure coming out of the crowd to advance to the podium, just like himself.

"...Mr. Benny?!"

Aslena was dumbfounded, Benny was also flabbergasted.

Both of them didn't move for a split second because they both couldn't believe it.

"AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE! Please Mr. Benny step up to this podium!"

As she walked, Aslena didn't take her eyes off Benny. Until finally Aslena and Benny climbed onto the podium long and wide enough for four people, standing with the spotlight shining on them.

"A very unexpected thing," said Benny almost in a whisper when he was in front of Aslena.

Aslena was stunned. Why is it like this?

"For tonight's King and Queen Party, you are required to... kiss each other!"

This is crazy. Aslena really couldn't move.

Everyone cheered urging them to kiss each other immediately. But Aslena and Benny couldn't do anything at all. The two of them just looked at each other, confused and doubtful.

Aslena would not start. He shook his head, signaling Benny not to kiss.

Unfortunately, unexpectedly, Benny suddenly stepped forward. One step..., two steps..., then Benny grabbed Aslena by the waist to close the distance between them.

Aslena didn't have time to fight back against Benny's sudden movement. When their faces were only two inches apart, it took three seconds for their eyes to meet.

'Don't do it,' Aslena thought pleadingly.

Too bad.

Benny seems don't understand what Asleena told through her speechless eyes.

Suddenly, without any words, Benny pulled Aslena's neck until there was no more distance, then pressed his lips against Aslena's. It was only five seconds before Benny's lips began to pulverize.

All the female guests covered their mouths, stifling happy squeals.

While Aslena froze and glared in surprise. Wait, why her blood feel rippling?!

***

"Tell me. What kind of crazy fate am I walking into right now?" Aslena muttered before the mirror in the private room. His face looked frustrated, a faint black color formed under his eyes, and his hair was messy.

This was something crazy—correctly, this driving Aslena crazy.

What really happened? Aslena tried to guess what had happened since the first time she met Benny: an accident which resulted in the death of both of her parents and it turned out that the CEO of the Henderson Group was responsible for the accident.

Then his father, who turns out to be hiding his identity as the owner of the Hudge Group, asks him to seize control of the Henderson Group company by marrying the CEO of that company, then last night... Aslena's second meeting with Benny which ends them kissing!

Everything that happened in just one week was completely beyond Aslena's expectations. As a result, as now, Aslena often looked at herself in the mirror with her temples propped up.

"I ... have to marry her?" Aslena returned to muttering under her breath. He shook his head in amusement and frustration. "How... how could I marry someone who killed both my parents?"

All right, Aslena knows that Benny wasn't the one who hit her parents' delivery car. But still. The car that crashed was the Anderson Group car and was under the control of the company's employees. But the worst thing is that Benny doesn't want to fully admit his guilt in the accident.

Aslena let out a rough breath. Can't imagine what it would be like if she had a relationship, let alone marriage, with Benny.

"Aissh!" Aslena ruffled her hair. "I haven't had time to accept that mom and dad died. Why did dad have to ask me something like that?"

Knock! Knock!

The bedroom door suddenly opened, revealing Halmey's figure peeking slightly. Halmey saw Aslena stop ruffling her hair and look at her with a frustrated expression on her face.

"Aslena," Halmey called, then stepped inside and paid a brief look. "What's wrong with you?"
